GOOD MORNING BRITAIN’S Susanna Reid fumed as Tony Blair’s former chief of staff suggested Britain could stay attached to the European Union after Brexit.

Jonathan Powell, the only senior advisor to last out the entire Blair premiership, said “the only answer” to solve the Irish border row was for the UK to remain in the EU’s single market and customs union.

Reid instantly hit back, insisting it wouldn’t happen because Theresa May has ruled out the possibility already.

Brexit negotiations seemingly broke down after Theresa May left her meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to discuss a leaked Irish border proposal with the DUP’s Arlene Foster.

Ms Foster and her party, which props up the Prime Minister’s minority Government in Westminster, are adamant that Northern Ireland must leave the EU on the same terms as the rest of the UK.
